Front looks spot on now.  :cool:

Cheers :afro:

I'm prob gonna get some tint film from LL when pay day comes around, then that'll be the front finished (I think)

i brought those new anniversayr smoked indicators, very good buy i thought, u dont notice how badly faded and cloudy the old ones are until put againt the new clear ones! alos, when u say u got new side skirt covers, do u mean this part?

Yeah thats the part, mine were all rusted through the middle and had started to look crap!

Ok, so new wheels are not fitted  :smiley:

Bought some VR6 BBS from Khare, they were in need of a refurb so Khare shipped them straight to the refurb company, I went and picked them up today and got tyres fitted.

I paid only £15 a wheel for kerbing repair, shot blasting and powder coating, i'm really happy with the results  :smiley:







I'll get some better pics over the weekend!  :cool:

A place in Bradford called Cas Coatings, would highly recommend them! It's £1 an inch for basic colours, which includes repairing any kerbing, shot blasting and powdercoating. It was a good 6 hour round trip for me to go pick them up, but it was worth it!

Also they were delivered to them late Monday afternoon and ready for me to collect at lunchtime today!  :grin:

Weird, I preferred Khares on the standard GTi rims but this looks awesome on the VR wheels.  :huh:

Oh well, looking awesome!  :cool:

Cheers guys :afro:

I was going to try something a little different, but as you say red is a tricky colour to work with. I'm going to try a home refurb on my original wheels though, so i'll experiment with a few colours.

Suggestions are welcome on a postcard  :grin:
